25.0.75 (7/9/2019)
1. Fixed: Converting with an external coder to M4A could lead to a crash.
2. Changed: If Media Center fails to start video playback, it will message about the audio but now add a string about adjusting the video delay.
3. Fixed: OpenGL Theater View was not playing sounds.
4. Changed: Made the Cloud play options page alphabetized in the Options list.
5. Fixed: Upload to a handheld would not always honor the path correctly.
6. Fixed: mp3 ID3v1 tags weren't being saved on linux.
25.0.74 (7/8/2019)
1. Changed: When doing a movie lookup, the year will be stripped from the name if the movie is named like [Name] ([Year]).
2. Changed: M4A files will be marked as not HDCD if the compression is set to "MP4 AAC".
3. Changed: Updated Greek translation (thanks Panagiotis).
4. Changed: Updated the Korean translation (thanks Junghwan).
5. NEW: Added a "Play Doctor" options page and it allows setting rules for file playback.
6. Changed: The play button on a remote when playback is paused will unpause instead of looking for something new to play.
7. Fixed: The library authorization popup would hang if you right-clicked inside one of the edit boxes.
8. Fixed: Some MP4/m4a/m4v files with bad 'free' atoms would not play.
9. Fixed: The optimization to library fields would cause drop list edit types to fill with only some of the values.
10. Changed: Opened Cloud Play up to trial users.
11. NEW: Added a Rand(...) expression function to generate a random number between the two bounds specified. The last optional parameter specifies if you want integer or decimal.
12. Faster: In-place editing in a huge library is faster.
13. Faster: Enumerating playlists is faster which helps things like Options search with a huge number of playlists.
14. Fixed: hitting escape on some popup menus would cause a crash.
25.0.71 (6/28/2019)
1. Fixed: Tagging windows that did an auto-select and included a suggestion box would lose focus causing the backspace key to jump back in the UI instead of performing a backspace.
2. Changed: Made the Tag Action Window save and load the scroll position as you navigate (and select no files then select files again).
3. Changed: The blue light will illuminate when decoding HDCD (previously that would cause the light to disengage).
4. Changed: Renamed the option "Process HDCD" to to "Play as HDCD if possible".
5. Changed: Made passing a negative number into ListLimit will grab that many from the end of the list.
6. NEW: Added the smartlist rule ~linkexpand to expand the links in a smartlist.
7. Changed: Made the About box identify the program as 32-bit (it would already identify 64-bit).
8. Changed: Files are no longer marked as dirty when they get flagged as not HDCD so they will not tag because of it.
9. Changed: Made the ListLimit MCWS function take an optional third parameter for the index to start at.
10. NEW: Added Options > Library & Folders > Analyze HDCD Files to flag the analyzer to look at the HDCD state. It defaults to off so no analysis will be done unless you opt-in.
11. Changed: When the program loads, it will go through files and mark lossy files as not HDCD and files that aren't 44100x16x2 as not HDCD.
12. Changed: Added a message when iTunes playlist import finishes with the number of playlists and directions about where to find them (or an error if no playlists were found).
13. Changed: Searching for files then deleting all of them from Playing Now will reset the search.
14. NEW: Added the MCWS function ListLimit to cap the size of a list of items.
14. Fixed: Pressing Shift+Delete in Playing Now would crash.
15. Changed: Made artist image lookup key into the fact that it's a music artist a little better (so playing bands with animal names, etc. will show better matches).
16. Fixed: Right-click play commands were not all working properly (may need to re-add the Add to Playing Now toolbar button to make it work).
25.0.65 (6/24/2019)
1. Changed: Tagging no longer runs on URLs or Radio Paradise files.
2. NEW: DLNA: HDCD info passed via JRiver specific DiDL to enable processing by a MC renderer.
3. Fixed: Files could get erroneously tagged during playback.
4. Fixed: Picking "Export Playlist..." from the view header menu would reset the selection.
5. Fixed: Encoder settings could get saved to the registry as the default profile and cause DLNA playback issues between L16 and WAV.
6. Fixed: HDCD decoding would engage when the HDCD field was set to unknown (-1).
7. Changed: Added the options Audio > Advanced > Process HDCD to enable and disable HDCD procssing during playback.
8. Changed: Made the new lyrics lookup option also apply when turning on lyrics display.
9. Fixed: The "Add to Playing Now" toolbar button was not working properly.
